Rosalind Ventris returned to Concerts in the West and brought with her Matthew Featherstone and Anneke Hodnett. Trio Anima gave three delightful concerts from 9-10 May.
Our next tour will be from 27-28 June with Duo Fabulae – Lorena Cantó and Yvain Calvo. You can see their programme on the booking pages.
We have had to make changes to our June tour as Erdem Mısırlıoğlu has sustained an injury that requires time to heal. We hope that he will return with Mathis Rochat in a future season.
Duo Fabulae – Lorena Cantó and Yvain Calvo will be coming instead from 27-28 June. We are delighted that they can come at such short notice.
Booking for tours will start 2 months before the tour begins.

Concerts in the West was launched in 2006. We aim to bring talented young professional musicians to small, intimate venues in the West Country, in areas that may not have easy access to music of this quality. Short intensive tours, lasting a few days, are arranged mainly in Dorset and Somerset.
We feel privileged to hear music performed to such a high standard. The repertoire is enormously varied and gives local audiences a wonderful opportunity to hear both familiar and unusual works for voice and instrument in many combinations.
